[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 658268, member: 52972"] Tiger, Well said. The state laws vary and enforcement may be irratic but most states have those kinds of laws. Here in Texas there are only a few counties around the larger cities like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, etc that actually stick a probe up the tail pipe and measure emission. Other counties just have a vehicle safety inspection where the do check that all emission equipment is connected. Most of the time the quick check is so fast, I can't imagine that they would notice of something was disconnected. I was suprised a few years ago when my Son-In-Law's 1985 Dodge pickup (that I gave hime) flunked inspection because all the emissions where rendered inoperable. What the inspector noticed was the smog pump was removed and the holes in the exhaust where plugged, and the Evap hoses were missing. He never noticed a different carb, distributor and the removal of the computer system. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
